Meal Applications are no longer required or accepted. Norwalk Public Schools is a Community Eligible District or CEP. Every student in the district receives one free breakfast and one free lunch everyday. Meal applications are no longer required.

IF you would like a letter for discounts on other programs such as Before and Afterschool care, summer camp, and college applications please visit My school apps and complete the parent income survey.

Again Norwalk is happy to say that all of our students receive a nutritious  free breakfast and free lunch everyday!

But for the extra items Parents or Guardians must open a My School Bucks account in order to pay for Milk, a second meal, or beverages and  healthy snacks. Norwalk is a cashless district so to speed up our lines to give students more time to enjoy their nutritious meals we do not accept money at the registers.

When and where available, items other than a  complete meal (a la carte items) such as milks, beverages, or healthy snacks may be purchased with funds in your child's school lunch account. 

• NPS will not run a deficit on any student accounts for an ala carte or second meal.
• If the account has a zero balance the student will be instructed to take the free meal instead of the a la carte item.
• This district does not have a charge option for second meals/ entrees or a la carte items.

Norwalk is a Nut Free District and we do not serve items containing nuts in the cafeteria.
